A Travelers independent agent provides the personal attention you need in today's economy.
Some consumers are comfortable managing their own insurance
needs. Others prefer the personal service and attention that
an independent agent provides. Here are a few examples of what
a trusted agent can offer.
Since independent agents often represent numerous insurance
companies, they know exactly what options are available in the
market. A consultative agent will help you consider the
countless coverage options available to you. From special
needs to unique discounts, an agent can help consult and
advice in your best interest. There are many savings to be
found - discounts and credits for being a good student,
driving a hybrid vehicle, multiple cars on a
policy or possessing anti-theft systems. Agents can help you
take advantage of these discounts.
Every insurance situation is different. The ultimate
purpose of insurance is to protect you, your family and your
assets should the worst happen. Many factors are involved in
determining the proper coverage. An established relationship
with an agent will put you in the best position to get the
proper policy, protection and price to meet your unique
situation. If you're just beginning a relationship with an
agent, be prepared to be asked questions that will ultimately
lead to determining the proper coverage for you. Remember,
it's not always about finding the lowest premium; it's about
having the right coverage to fit your needs.
Let's face it: Insurance can be a complex subject. Your
independent agent has the expertise and can take the time to
make sure you understand all aspects of your policy. Don't be
afraid to ask questions. When it comes to protecting your
family and your assets, there is no question too basic.
They can manage multiple policies. Auto insurance is
just one form of protection, but home, umbrella, flood, and
other personal insurance products are equally important.
What's more, savings can be realized by combining two or more
insurance policies under the same carrier. Additionally,
you'll have one main contact person for all your insurance
needs.
They can keep you apprised of future news and products.
While the new era of managed competition began on April 1,
2008, auto insurers will be rolling out new features and
products for months and years to come. If you have a solid
relationship with your agent, he or she will be likely to
alert you when new discounts and products are available.
Otherwise, you'll need to subscribe to insurance trade
publications and continue to scour the news on a regular basis
to stay updated.
